LT Brad McInnis probably not, but with the fiery words today, always best to have it and not need it, than the other way around.

Seems like if you wanted to extend that rationale you could argue that we don't really need our SSBN force or ICBMs for that matter.

PO2 Robert Aitchison - Those have a deterrent effect. Aerial refueling capability is not a deterrent.
